What's new

For stoked GAME THREAD!!

By no means am I comparing Kobe and Exums skill set, but they are similar in age and hype. I pulled Kobe's rookie game log just to see how rough it was for him. His December and February were atrocious. I hope we fans understand this is a growing process for him. We will see the brilliance with the bad and will just have to be patient. Not saying we should not criticize him at all, but any bird brain calling him a bust at any point in the next few years is dumb.

Whoa whoa whoa, slow down man. Just let his career play out before you talk about the dude
 
Seriously though.
Everyone tries to project how good or bad a player will be.

Hell i bet Dennis Lindsey even gets paid to do.

Draft express projects what they think a player will play like quite often.

I bet every poster on this website has jumped the gun predicting a players potential or lack thereof.

Cy with otto porter, dala with trey burke.

I'm curious to why some of you have a problem with it when in fact we all do it.

Lots of pots and kettles in here.

Redick torched Hood but I really liked Hood's debut offensively. Really every player on this team is going to be fun to watch this season. Can't wait.

Yep and hood will rarely guard a player like reddick. Burks would have drawn that assignment normally.

Most players that hood will have to defend will not be as small, quick, and active as reddick probably
 
The best part was when naos changed my post so it said that I need to take a break from jazzfanz (which I have needed to do in the past btw... as well as some others)

And I remember him asking for his account to be de-activated before.
 
Fish, there was posters here talking about Exum busting.



Every ****ing year this happens. God it pisses me the **** off.



Speaking of which-- anybody out there still okay with trading Burke for a late 1st rounder?



Burke = carrreir baqup lolzz

Pretty sure the only poster who has made definitive statements about Exum busting is AKMVP. Other people may have said "bust potential", but I'm pretty sure almost no one besides AKMVP has declared him a bust.

It's cute to see Vermin and NAOS be ******* buddies together though.
 
Was impressed with Hood... Looks ready to contribute.

Also, cant believe how much fun everyone looks like they are having. It is so fun to watch good basketball. 3 preseason games in and I've already drunk all the Snyder Kool Aid. I think I said the Jazz would win 26ish games this year... ask me now and I think it'd be around 36ish.... in a few weeks I'll likely pick us to go undefeated.

Oh I get it, because I think your off base I'm an *******. Get a grip bro.
 
But yeah, y'all can probably mark me down as someone who doesn't see a lot of "superstar" ability, meaning I don't see him ever scoring 25+ ppg or being considered a top 10 player. I think he can be very good given his natural vision and IQ, but not seeing the necessary shot creation skills to be a top 10 player as of right now.

Could that change? No ****, and I will be ecstatic if it happens.

Projecting talent is a case-by-case game.

There were 2 NCAA seasons for Trey.
There was nothing for Dante.

There was a full season of NBA play for Trey.
There's been 3 preseason games for Dante.

To act like everything is basically equal as far as jazzfanz projections.... is to act like a gawdamn moran.
 
No I think your an ******* because of the personal attacks on Fish.
Can't say I don't agree with you ( me being an ******* and all), but saying fish was "acting" like a dumbass is not a personal attack. You should know this as you have turned personal attacks into a fine art.
